Glad you found it Liz. I saw it last night and almost posted it because I remembered how you like Dante. Dante definitely looks to be pretty legit. It will remain to be seen how much is practical but he should a least have a move for every scenario.

I was considering getting this after a price drop but it's getting hard to resist a day one purchase.

I definitely recommend against that unless its for strictly offline play. When the game first comes out, everyone will be playing around testing the waters without any real strategy. Also there will be more casual fans playing then. If you wait too long, all that will be left are the more hardcore fans who will have a huge leg up on anyone who is just starting. Of course, if you play offline you can throw that all out the window.

Hah, he is my avatar for a good reason! There's just so many moves, including variations, but I doubt he's the only one with such a variety. Yet he's already getting a bunch of hate from fanboys of other MvC3 characters.

Spiderman and Wolverine are two of my favourite Marvel characters, so having them at the end was just added bliss. I played Wolverine for a bit at E3, but obviously not as much as Dante. :)

I'm not into pre-ordering but this one I pre-oredered last year!Sure, I had a discount of 7 dollars to make my choice easier.

I'd love to play people here of the forums, maybe when the game's released we could share our PSN/360 accounts.

As for my team the only certain is Chun-Li which not only is my favorite character but possibly has the best assist in the game. As for the other 2 I'm deciding of what I see but probably will only decide once I get the game.

Went ahead and pre-ordered the special edition. For 10 extra bucks, I could justify it. Plus, technically, I'm not paying it's a late birthday present. Anyway, I got mine for the 360. Probably will spend the first week experimenting with different players for my team. But, if you're getting it for 360, let's throw down!

Depends on where you get it. Amazon has a 10 dollar credit towards future vg purchases on the regular edition only so effectively its 20 dollars more imo. Ill be getting it for 360 as well due to higher level of competition but will eventually snag a ps3 copy when it drops so I can play with real life friends.

Yeah, all the little things they put into the game like that is nice. I'm also incredibly happy they got rid of S/SF4's incredibly shitty input shortcuts. Love that they included a gamer card like system where you can check out different people's offensive/defensive traits (details are sketchy still). They also put a little more info into simple mode lately, showing people what exactly you're missing out on by picking simple mode (in most people's case, it's 2-3 moves and a super). Definitely for beginners only.

I don't understand what you mean by "shitty input shortcuts". Were they by any chance putting shortcuts to moves ? Like BlazBlue did ?I don't like them either because this way you could make a charge character or a 360 character a monster. Not in tourneys as they wouldn't be allowed (the shortcuts) but still playing a casual match where a person doesn't have to buffer the motion in advance can be a game breaker.

Input shortcuts are a mechanic to make pulling moves off easier. For instance, you can do a any shoryuken motion move with 323 or even just 33. It would seem like it's not that big of a deal, but it can really fuck up your moves if you even have the slightest bit of sloppiness with your inputs. Across the board, the biggest problem I see with this is supers coming out when you don't want them to, but it certainly can cause frustration with non-super moves and combos as well. On a faster paced game like MvC3, this could easily wreck havoc with your accuracy.
